Ziff Davis is a trusted computer news source however from what my pals in the industry are telling me is that Amazon is preping more then simply a color kindle they are preparing a touch kindle and a kindle 4 with a longer lasting battery.

I've converted my trusty old HTC Touch Pro 2 phone over to Android and while it's still a little rough around the edges, I find that I really like all the apps and games that are available, even for my aging phone. I'm really interested to see what, if anything, Amazon does with an Android tablet. I hope it's a polished and solid system, but I think Android still has a bit further to go before it matches iOS.

ummm try using an HTC Evo, Samsung Galaxy S or any of the Droids and then see if "android stil has a bit further to go before it matches iOS".
I mean comparing Android on a two year old phone that has 528Mgz processor and low RAM would be like comparing the Samsung Galaxy S II phone running Gingerbread with 1.2Mghz processor to the very first iOS of 2007.

I imagine they would need to work on a longer lasting battery if they are going to have video. Otherwise the charge wouldn't last very long, especially if they are still using an eink display. Will be interesting to find out if they are actually going to do such or if it is just a rumor.

I'm almost quite certain this won't be an eink device but a 10 inch LCD Android tablet. Early reports are showing $399. My guess is the "Kindle" name will be branched out to beyond just ereader's .

they might do a full blown ereader skin, similiar to what the nook color is like, but I think they would be in place of your regular Kindle app. but the rest of the device when not in the kindle app would be similiar to what you would find on other competiting tablets.
